Bio

Teresa Beaton

Lead Vocals

Teresa (aka Momma T) was a late bloomer and in 2005 when her children were grown she decided it was time to follow her heart and start singing!!

It has always been where she feels alive and sing with her soul as she does. Her powerful vocals and love for music will have you out of your chair dancing and singing along.

She has fronted three bands and is a MAMA award winner for best jazz and blues band.

Momma T's singing is a feeling written in her heart!
